Most of your data never leaves your device. The following is stored exclusively on your device and in your personal iCloud account and is never transmitted to our servers:
Nutrition tracking data (meals, beverages, weight, body composition)
Pantry inventory and stock levels
Goals and preferences
All Apple HealthKit data
Note: Some features send specific information off your device to fulfill a request you initiate. When you request an AI recipe or AI image, ingredient names from your pantry and related preferences are sent to our servers and on to our AI provider. The full pantry data (quantities, expiry dates, etc.) stays on-device. See "Content you submit to our services" below and Section 3 (Third-Party Services) for how food photos, barcode scans, and food searches are handled.
Collected on Our Servers
When you create an account and use certain features, we collect:
Content you submit to our services: recipe requests (which include ingredient names, dietary preferences, and cooking constraints); meal and menu photos you choose to scan or upload for AI analysis; and feedback and corrections you send us (which may include an optional screenshot that can contain personal information visible on your screen at the time). Recipe requests, food photos, and AI analysis requests are processed by us and our AI provider to fulfill your request; we do not attach your name, email, or account identifier to a food photo when we send it for analysis, and uploaded photos may be retained and used to improve the App and our food-recognition features. AI recipes and AI images produced in response to your requests are owned by us and licensed to you under our Terms of Service.
Device and diagnostic data: device model, OS version, app version, and automatic crash, performance, and diagnostic telemetry used to detect and fix errors and stability problems
Anonymous usage analytics: aggregated information about how you move through the app (such as which setup steps you reach and choices you make in category options like dietary preference). This information is not linked to your account, email, or personal identity.
Fraud prevention data: technical signals used to maintain the integrity of our services
We may also collect server access logs (including IP addresses) through standard cloud infrastructure. As our services evolve, we may collect additional information and will update this policy accordingly.
2. How We Use Your Information
Provide and operate the service: account management, subscriptions, AI-powered features, in-app economy, and achievements
Fulfill your requests: identify foods and estimate nutrition from meal or menu photos you scan, generate AI recipes and AI images, and look up nutrition information for barcodes and food searches
Improve quality: analyze feedback, corrections, submitted food photos, and aggregated usage patterns to improve our food-recognition and other features
Protect our platform: detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our terms
Customer support: respond to inquiries and resolve issues
Service health and product analytics: monitor service health and error rates using automatic crash, performance, and diagnostic telemetry, and analyze aggregated usage data to improve features and reduce friction
Legal compliance: respond to lawful requests and enforce our terms
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following categories of third-party services:
Authentication and payments: Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store). HealthKit data stays on-device.
Device verification: Apple's App Attest service is used to verify that requests come from a genuine instance of our app on a genuine Apple device. This helps prevent abuse and is not used to track you.
AI provider: To produce AI recipes and AI images, and to identify foods and estimate nutrition from meal or menu photos you scan, we send the relevant content to our AI provider. This may include ingredient names, dietary preferences, text descriptions, and the food photos you choose to scan or upload. We do not send your name, email, or user ID to our AI provider, and we send photos to fulfill your request, not to build a profile of you. We also use an AI image-generation provider to create recipe and food images.
Public nutrition databases: When you scan a product barcode or type a food search, the barcode number or your search text is sent directly from your device to public nutrition databases (operated by third parties) to look up nutrition information. These lookups carry no identity, health, account, or pantry data and do not route through our servers.
Cloud infrastructure: Our backend services are hosted by our cloud infrastructure provider.
Recipe persistence: AI recipes generated through the App may be saved on our servers and may be reused to serve recipes to other users from a shared pool. Recipes in this shared pool are not linked to your identity.
We do not sell your data. We do not share data for advertising purposes.
4. HealthKit Data
All HealthKit data is processed locally on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers, sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.
With your permission, we read health and fitness data (such as weight, body composition, activity, and workouts) and write nutrition and body measurement data to Apple Health.
HealthKit integration is optional and controlled by an explicit toggle in Settings > Integrations. Disabling the toggle stops all future reads and writes. Existing Apple Health data is managed by Apple Health, not by us.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
How Long We Keep Data
Active accounts: We retain your data only as long as needed to provide the service, which is for as long as your account is active.
On-device data: Stored on your device and iCloud — managed entirely by you.
Deleted accounts: When you delete your account, there is a short grace period during which you can cancel. After the grace period, your personal data is permanently deleted. Feedback and diagnostics are anonymized (your identity is removed but the content may be retained for service improvement). A minimal, non-identifying record may be retained as needed for fraud prevention.
How to Delete Your Account
Go to Profile > Account > Delete Account
Confirm the deletion when prompted
You have a short grace period to cancel before permanent deletion
On-device and iCloud data must be deleted separately by you
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:
Access: Request a copy of data we hold about you
Correction: Fix inaccurate data (most data is self-service editable in-app)
Deletion: Request account deletion (see above)
Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information for advertising. Health and nutrition data stored on your device never reaches our servers.
To exercise any right, contact [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.
8. Children
The App is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a user is under 16, we will delete their account and associated data.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the App with reasonable notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
